up and automatically begins recording video.
Vehicle shutting down --- voltage transformer cable power off--- the camera
will save the video file and shut down automatically.
3. If the camera hasn't been used for a long time or if the battery is flat, disconnect
and then reconnect the power. This will normally work if the vehicle has been
on for a period of time with the camera being charged by the power cable
attached to the vehicle's battery.
